Our report: Jon Gruden press conference Tuesday

RaidersSnakepit.com’s Steve Corkran reported Friday morning that the Raiders will have a “splashy” press conference to announce the return of Chuckie.

Gruden coached the Raiders from 1998-2001. Former Oakland owner Al Davis traded Gruden to Tampa Bay in January 2002. Gruden and the Tampa Bay beat Oakland in its last Super Bowl a year later.

Now, Chuckie returns.

The return of Gruden coincides with the launching of RaidersSnakepit.com. You can read more about it here and here.
